The moment Lingnan King was captured, several people in the chaos also stopped at the same time, watching the situation over there with bated breath.
Lingnan King glanced at the eagle knife on his neck, his eyes turned cold: "What do you mean?"
Ayers looked at him and smiled: "Actually, Master Hou and I have already reached an agreement."
"Agreement?" Lingnan King looked at Xue Mu with a sneer, and imitated his tone just now, "You secretly colluded with the Donggan Luo Kingdom, does the Emperor know?"
Xue Mu pursed his lips into a smile, and said to the King of Lingnan, "The emperor knows much more than you imagined, such as the fact that you wanted to steal the treasure and assassinate me, or the fact that you wanted to raise troops to rebel." Having said that, He looked at Aies beside him again, "The special envoy can testify to all of this."
The King of Lingnan's face turned ugly again. He turned his head and looked at Aes viciously: "What's the benefit of helping Xue Mu? Do you think the emperor will support you as the king of Dongganluo Kingdom? Don't be naive!"
Aies smiled indifferently: "Although they won't help me, they also promised that they will not intervene when I overthrow my brother."
Lingnan King pursed his lips and remained silent. The current great king of the Dongganluo Kingdom is inferior to his younger brother Aes, whether in terms of culture, military strategy, or cunning, and he has been able to sit firmly as the king of the Dongganluo Kingdom for so many years because of his great commitment. Supporting him from behind - there is no other reason, but because he is a little less ambitious and a little more stable than his younger brother.
And this is really a commendable quality for Da Cheng who is also recovering.
So if Aies wanted to rebel, King Dongganluo would definitely ask Dacheng for help, and Dacheng would definitely help out of various considerations.
It wasn't until now that he suddenly realized that perhaps Aes's goal in the first place was not the treasure, but the promise of "no help" from Da Cheng.
"Is this also Yijin's idea?" He glanced at Aus who was opposite him.
Aies curled his thin lips and said, "He said that the emperor of Dacheng wanted to get rid of you first rather than get rid of me."
"Oh." He suddenly sneered, and turned to look at Xue Mu, "You are raising tigers, and you will regret it sooner or later!"
Xue Mu smiled and said: "Even if the king of Ridong Ganluo really changed hands, do you think I will be afraid of him? And, my lord, what position do you have to say such a thing?" He is the one who really talks to Ah The people that Erce colluded with.
The King of Lingnan choked, and went to provoke Aies again: "Xue Mu is not dead, do you think you can realize your ambitions by becoming the king of Dongganluo!"
Aies also smiled, and said the same thing as Xue Mu: "Do you think I'm afraid of him?" Compared to killing Xue Mu in such a sneaky way, he would rather have a hearty fight with him on the battlefield .
The King of Lingnan was completely speechless. He didn't know why these people had a shortcut and insisted on going to the battlefield to fight to the death.
"Okay, hand over the antidote." Xue Mu seemed impatient to continue these meaningless conversations, and asked Lingnan King directly for the antidote. Hearing what he said, Lingnan King was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Have you found Liu Qinghuan? Xue Mu, you better stop dreaming. If I die, Liu Qinghuan will have to be buried with me!"
Lingnan King was still smiling triumphantly, Xue Mu had already pulled off the ghost mask on his face by surprise, and then all the people present were stunned.
Because this person is not Lingnan King at all!
The person dressed as a priest was taken off his mask unsuspectingly, and he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xue Mu with disdain and said, "Do you think the prince will really fall into your plan to come to Xiwei Mountain? Don't be stupid, General." !"
Xue Mu's eyes darkened. This person not only imitated Lingnan King's voice perfectly, but also knew his temperament and habits like the palm of his hand, so he pretended to be him for so long without being discovered. But with Lingnan King's character, he had to come in person at such a time...
As soon as he thought of this, the priest yelled "Retreat!".
The two subordinates who followed him, together with Tang Zibo, fled towards the woods quickly before everyone recovered. Hu Lingshan, who had been held hostage all this time, suddenly shouted: "He is the real King of Lingnan!"
The fingertip was pointing at the subordinate who was holding him hostage.
Xue Mu pierced the priest's chest with a knife, and leaped out with his toes, and Peng Peng chased after him with his guards. Aies glanced at the priest who was lying on the ground. He had died, but he had a surprised expression on his face. Xue Mu's stabbing was too fast just now, not only this person didn't react, even he did the same.
He stared at the corpse on the ground for a while, then smiled suddenly, and beckoned his men to go to the woods to help. Hu Lingshan and Gao Cheng were the only ones left in front of the cave. Hu Lingshan squatted on the ground and coughed violently as if she couldn't take it anymore.
Seeing her coughing badly, Gao Cheng walked over quickly: "Miss Liu, are you okay?"
Liu Qinghuan shook her head, but did not answer. Gao Cheng frowned, and helped her up: "Go in and have a rest first, and I'll get you some water."
"Thank you." Liu Qinghuan wiped away the tears coughed up from the corners of her eyes, and followed Gao Cheng into the cave. Sitting down on that thatched bunk, Liu Qinghuan calmed down for herself, deliberately ignoring the pain coming from her waist. Gao Cheng quickly walked in with a bowl of water, handed it to Liu Qinghuan, and said scoldingly: "General Xue refused to let you come, but you insisted on coming, and now you are so happy?"
Liu Qinghuan twitched the corner of her mouth, took the bowl, and drank slowly. Ever since Gao Cheng knew that Xue Mu was the first God of War in Da Cheng, he went from being the leader of the Seven Stars Sect to becoming General Xue's younger brother. After she finished drinking the water, she handed back the missing bowl to Gao Cheng's hand: "The King of Lingnan and I have a deep blood feud. I can't just stand by and do nothing." He smiled at Gao Cheng, "If he knew that the person he was holding hostage just now was me, he would not have run so fast."
Gao Cheng of Liu Qinghuan's disguise technique was also very novel when he first saw it, but after looking at this face for a long time, he still felt a little uncomfortable: "Wait a minute, I'll get you some water for you to wash your face."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
In the woods, Xue Mu followed closely behind the real King of Lingnan. Although he didn't see this person's face clearly, but Qingqing must have her reasons for saying this. Thinking of Qingqing, Xue Mu's eyebrows twitched, and his steps became faster.
Although the King of Lingnan also practiced martial arts since he was a child, he is not the same as Xue Mu, a general who leads troops every day. In addition, he is old. Xue Mu caught up, Lingnan King gritted his teeth and prepared to give it a go.
Before long, a figure covered with bark suddenly rushed out from the front, directly knocking Lingnan King to the ground. Xue Mu frowned and stopped.
If he guessed correctly, the disheveled man in front of him should be Gao Cheng's master, Gao Zhengping. Did they unknowingly stray into the "forbidden place" that Gao Cheng said
He glanced in the direction of Lingnan King. The latter had passed out. One could imagine how tragic the impact was just now. He estimated that at least a few of Lingnan King's bones would have to be broken. But Gao Zhengping acted like a normal person, after taking a look at the people on the ground, he made a gesture and rushed towards them.
Xue Mu hurried forward and stopped Gao Zhengping's movements with the long knife in his hand. The King of Lingnan is still a prince no matter what, he has to be escorted back to be dealt with by the emperor, and he cannot be allowed to die here.
Gao Zhengping seemed to be hurt by Xue Mu's scabbard, he turned his head and stared at him fiercely. Xue Mu pursed his lips slightly, trying to explain to him: "Senior, I didn't mean anything malicious."
However, Gao Zhengping obviously didn't understand his explanation, so he directly waved his sharp claws and attacked Xue Mu. Xue Mu's brows were slightly raised, it didn't look like a human hand at all, it was more like the sharp claws of a beast. He had just escaped Gao Zhengping's grasp, when he suddenly rushed towards him, as if he wanted to grab him - he had no doubt that if Gao Zhengping caught him, he could directly tear himself in half.
The unsheathed long knife quickly spun around in his hand a few times, disrupting Gao Zhengping's attack, and Xue Mu slapped Gao Zhengping's heart with his palm. Gao Zhengping was beaten back two steps by Xue Mu, as if he was irritated by this palm, he looked at Xue Mu even more fiercely.
"Father!" Tang Zibo rushed over at this time, seeing Lingnan King fainted on the ground, his expression changed and he rushed over. Gao Zhengping was also attracted by Tang Zibo's voice. Seeing that he seemed to want to snatch his prey, he dodged to his side aggressively.
Tang Zibo only felt a gust of wind, and then a sharp pain in his shoulder. Gao Zhengping's sharp claws had penetrated his left shoulder. Xue Mu's face changed. He didn't get the antidote, so Tang Zibo couldn't just die like this.
He quickly stepped forward to attack Gao Zhengping from behind, Gao Zhengping's eyebrows moved, and he suddenly pulled out his blood-stained sharp claws, and directly swept towards Xue Mu behind him. Xue Mu was forced to take a few steps back. Gao Zhengping was about to finish him off when he saw a large group of people approaching.
As if feeling that there were too many people on the other side, Gao Zhengping let out a growl, and then ran quickly towards the depths of the forest, ignoring the fainted prey.
When Peng Peng saw the big hole on Tang Zibo's shoulder, he pointed at Xue Mu in shock: "You did this?!"
"Gao Zhengping." Instead of chasing Gao Zhengping, he drew out his long knife and put it on Tang Zibo's neck, "Hand over the antidote."
Tang Zibo hadn't recovered from the severe pain yet, although his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, he still smiled at Xue Mu, "Du, Du Juan is really a cover for you, she is Qing, Qing Huan, I've met her at your house, I can't mistake her..."
Xue Mu's expression darkened, and he lifted the long knife in his hand and stabbed directly at Tang Zibo's abdomen. Tang Zibo screamed "Ah!" again, and Peng Peng silently turned his head away, asking someone to tie up the fainted Lingnan King.
Xue Mu looked at Tang Zibo's painful expression, his eyes did not fluctuate at all: "Hand over the antidote."
Tang Zibo gasped for a while, and then he spoke intermittently: "The solution, the antidote can only be found by Yi and Yifu..."
Xue Mu's gaze turned cold: "Looking at it like this, you seem to have no value in living." Although he couldn't kill Lingnan King, killing Tang Zibo was just a matter of raising his hands.
He raised his hand and stabbed Tang Zibo's heart with a knife. When Peng Peng heard Tang Zibo's scream again, his brows twitched uncontrollably. Be kind to God Mani, sin against sin.
Xue Mu looked at Tang Zibo who had only breathed his last, and put the knife back into the sheath. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Tang Zibo grabbed the corner of his clothes. He frowned in displeasure, and then he heard Tang Zibo say angrily, "I didn't, I didn't poison her..."
